The needs of kindergarten through high school science labs differ significantly from those designed for higher education. K-12 laboratories prioritize student safety, durability, and age-appropriate learning experiences over advanced research capabilities. These environments must withstand intensive daily use by young students while providing engaging, hands-on science education.
K-12 science laboratories serve as the foundation for STEM education, inspiring curiosity and building scientific literacy from elementary through high school. While there may be no need for advanced fume hoods in most K-12 settings, there is a critical need for strong casework, stain and spill-resistant epoxy resin countertops, and safety systems designed specifically for younger students.
Our K-12 laboratory solutions focus on creating safe, engaging environments where students can explore scientific concepts through hands-on experimentation while teachers can effectively manage classroom safety and learning outcomes.
